The House of Representatives has resolved to admit President Muhammadu Buhari on the floor of the green chambers to present the 2019 Appropriation Bill to the joint session of the National Assembly.
The resolution was sequel to the adoption of a motion by the Leader of the House, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila (APC-Lagos), at the plenary presided over by the Deputy Speaker, Yussuf Lassun, on Tuesday.
Moving the motion earlier, Gbajabiamila urged the house to support the motion to enable the president to perform his constitutional functions.
